DVD Burner issues.

Post by Enigma »

I am having trouble getting my CD\DVD burner to recognize blank DVDs. Windows constantly says that they are blank CDs. Because of this I cannot burn DVDs as the burning programs do not recognize the blank DVDs as DVDs. How can I fix this?

It seems to be worse than I thought. I am unable to run Spybot S&D, nor can I update AVG and AdAware. Plus IE is fucked as it constantly redirect any links to crap sites while Firefox is largely unaffected except that I can't access Spybot's website. Help?

Try Avira http://www.free-av.com/ and manually updating it. It should at least give a good attempt at finding your mystery problem.
This worked last time I had a similar problem, though I ended up nuking it anyway.

AVG found this "\\?\globalroot\systemroot\system32\gxvxchhbvrdlmrvqfqjqcsrpxvnmtgtpsnurm.dll";"Trojan horse Agent2.GUF". How do I find it and kill it?

Nuke it from orbit.

And get Avira http://www.free-av.com/ which is better than AVG anyways.

Besides, how do you even get infected with stuff like that? Just pure curiosity, since the last real virus I had was back in 286-times and came with some Shareware-Game (which I even bought on disk in a store, not swapping stuff with friends).

That's a question I often ask. But hey, people tell me 'cracks for games are trojans omg' and I crack everything, so I expect it's simply due to nerd alarmism being wrong. :)

I used combofix and it fixed everything and my DVD burner works. I think this happened after I received a notification that Windows needed to make sure that my copy of XP was legit. It seemed legit and I had no worries as my copy XP is legit. But sometime after that things went screwy.

I always try to make sure to prevent my computer from being infected but I can't be successful all the time.

Oh yeah, and it also took avira ages to stop complaining about some dvd ripping suite ;)

Yeah well, that's what I mean. Some window pops up, presumeably ages after you installed XP and proofed it was legit, and you believe it and klick and allow it do to god knows what?

As I said, I never got my computer infected, be it my older 98 or XP machines or the new Vista rig. Maybe it's because I've never used IE and/or Outlook as primary browser/email client.
